(ver. 1)
Laura Goldhamer
    D               A           G           D               A           G
I'll see and believe it to be - as plain as the naked eye sees
    D               A           G      D               A       G
love lived in full and 3-D -  without marking territory

       D               A           G            D               A           G
and oh boy by tooth or by nail - for standing ground one must prevail
    D               A           G           D               A           G
for land owning only has sway - and all else is way off base

D    G   Bm      Bm        G             D
hear me roar, - I've got a bite and a bark
D    G   Bm      Bm        G             D
learn the skills - that don't apply anymore

    D         A           G                D       A           G
sleep has put seeds in my eyes - that can grow into dreams realized 
    D                A          G        D            A           G
and know how to then ask for a hand  - though it means we would depend

D    G       Bm      Bm           G          D
Trust someone, - not in God or politicians
D    G   Bm           Bm        G             D
what is wanted - is kindred to talk and listen

B: bridge
       D          A           G            D               A             G    
I've got all I need to survive - a hatchet and small pocket knife
       D             A           G                        D               A           G    
cut off what is soft and humane - and be alone at the end of the day

D    G   Bm         Bm                        G             D
But I'll be fine, - you've got yours and I've got all mine
D    G        Bm                Bm           G               D
best kept separate, - and lessen the mess that is made

       D               A           G            D          A            G    
let's build us a better machine - to manufacture more happy
       D               A           G               D          A           G    
and do the job we cannot seem - to perfect of nursing babies

D                                      G      Bm          G         D
and mass culture waltzed right off a cliff - and we almost... followed
    D                    G     Bm              G          D
and dogma set down in my throat - and I damn near? swallowed
D                             G   Bm                G      D
the system that claims to be rich - I found out? it's hollow
D                              G      Bm              G     D
and the wealth i want isn't in print - and cannot be... borrowed
